Eaten Alive Fermented Hot Sauce – Jalapeno & Lime

This is the sort of sauce that causes problems with portion control. Not because it’s brutally hot. Far from it. The jalapeño brings a lively little kick, while the lime gives it the sharpness that makes you immediately consider putting it on something else. There’s more going on underneath, too. Miso brings a savoury depth, with garlic, onion and oregano filling out the background. That makes it far more useful than a simple chilli-and-citrus number. Chicken? Obviously. Fish? Certainly. Guacamole? Sensible. Vegetables? They could use the help. Pizza? I refuse to judge. The real danger is keeping the bottle within arm’s reach at dinner.
